To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, HANS O'ITOSSON- ELr-to'r, a citizen of Sweden,residing at 'Iunnelgaten 25, Stockholm, Sweden, and

. MAWNE JtiNssoN, a citizen of Sweden, re-

siding at Islin e, Lidingo, Sweden, subjects of the King Sweden, haveinvented new and 'useful Improvements in or Relating to Sec ional Walls,of which the followin is to a specification (for which we have ap iedfor patents in Sweden, June 5, 1919; Britain, February 21, 1920;Finland, May 31, 1920; Germany, June 24, 1920; Belgium, June 26, 1920;France, June 29, 1920; Dentt mark, August 19, 1920; Norway, May 24,

This invention relates to buildings, the walls, of which consist ofwall-sections, and especially to the construction of such sections aswell as their connection /with each other'and with other parts of thebuilding, particularly at the corners, beams and roofs of the buildings.

The object of the invention is, by means of ready made wall-sections, toconstruct a cheap, simple and easily erected building. As to the shapeand size, the wall-sections are so adjusted as, by the use of a fewdifferent standardized types of wall-sections, to attain the possibilityof varying, to a great extent, the size and appearance of the building.

In comparison with similar earlier arrangements, this invention aifordsseveral advantages, firstly, that if the wall-sections during storageand transport should warp or become distorted, as will easily occur,this will not induce the usual inconveniences of having thewall-sections straightened before being jointed. This operation isunnecessary, when using wall-sections according to the presentinvention, because of the connections being so constructed as to effect,

without further measures, the straightening of the wall-sections.Another important advantage consists in that the wall, owing to theproperties of the connections, obtains the character of a half-timberbuildin or a framework which, as is well-known, ail ords considerableadvantages as to stability and strength. Another important adreatvvantage consists in that the edge-portions of the wall-sections areresistible against shocks and bendin strains and, owin thereto, are verylitt e likely to be damage during the trans ort. I In earlier devices ofthis kind it wil easily occur that a great part of the materialonaccount of a fragile edge-construction, will bebroken in pieces beforebeing inserted in the building. Another great facturederiving from thesimplicity of the connections, consists in that the wall-sectlons needonly be manufactured in a few standard types, dpreferably onerectangular, one square, an one triangular type, the short side of therectan le coextensive with the si e o a short side of the triangle.

The invention is, chiefly, characterized in each wall-section consistinof one or more frames coated at either side with boards, the edges ofthe frame extending outside the edges of one or both coatings. Whenjointing the wall-sections with the frames laced edge by edge, recesseswill be formed 1n the preferably bein the square an advantage relatingto the manu-' surfaces of the wall, on account of the ed es J' of theframes extending on one or both si es, the width of each recess beingbounded by the edges of the coatings. In the case of the edges of theframe extending outside both coatings, recesses will be formed at eitherside of the wall, whereas a recess will otherwise be formed on one sideonly of the wall. In the recesses fillings are inserted which are nailedto the frames. By this the advantage is obtained that the fillings causethe edges of the frames to be positioned in front of each other, thewall-sections, if skew, thus being straightened.

Several embo iments of the invention are illustrated in the accompanyingdrawings,

Figure 9 illustrates a triangular wallsection, and

Fi res 10 and 11 are cross-sections of two ifierent embodiments thereof.

Figure 12 shows a plan-view of an edgeconnection formed by wall-sectionsaccording to Figure 3.

igure 13 an ed -connect1on formed by wallsections accor 'ng to Figure 2.

Figure 14 is a vertical section of a portion of a building composed ofwall-sectlons according to the invention.

Figure 15 is a section of the wall-sections at the eaves and along theroof.

Figure 16 is a cross-section of the wallsections at the windows and thedoors.

Figure 17 shows a long wall composed of the wall-sections and Figure 18shows a gable.

Fig. 19 shows an insulating and packing arrangement between the meetingedges of two frames, and

Fig. 20 shows a gable with an attaching device between the wallsections.

Referring to Figures 1 to 3, the wallsection consists of a frame 1, bothsides of which are coated with boards 2. As shown in Figure 3, the edgeof the coating extends on the one side to the ed of the frame 1, whereason the other si e the edge of the coating is positioned inside the edgeof the frame. According to Figure 2 t e edges of both coatings aresituated .inside the edges of the frame.

In Figures 4 to 6 and 7 to 8 the wall-sections are constructed in thesame manner. The rectangular wall-sections'in Figures 1 and 4 may beprovided with struts 3 efl'ecting a rigid construction.

When placin two wall-sections constructed as mentione above edge by edge(as in Figures 12 and 13) recesses 4 are formed which, as in Figure 12,appear on the inside only of the wall, the coatings 2 being close toeach other on the outside. In Fifgure 13 recesses are formed on eitherside 0 the wall. In both cases fillings are inserted in the recessesconsisting of whole boards nailed to the frames 1.

By this construction the outside and the inside of the wall will beevened and the fillings will straighten the wall-sections, if a-skew,when erected.

The corner in Figure 12, composed of wall-sections according to Figure3, is very simple. The edges of the frame and of the outer coating ofthe one wall-section which forms an an le with the other one bearsagainst the inside of the frame of the other wall-section and againstthe edge of its inner coating. Between the inside of the latter and theedge of the inner coating of the first-named wall-section there isformed a space 5 in which a lath is'inserted. Consequently, the cornerdescribed does not re.

quire, except said lath, any further additional member, being verysimple in construction, no separate pillar or the like being necessaryand the strength of the construction being quite satisfactory. In thecorner shown in Figure 13 the ed of the frame of one wall-section bearsagainst the inner side of the frame of the other wall-section. In thiscase three recesses 6 are formed in which laths are inserted.

The wall shown in Fi re 14 is composed of wall-sections the ower portionof which being according to Fi ure 3 and the upper portion according toig. 2 and affords'great advantages with regard to the connection of thewall-sections with the beam 7 ofthe building. The edges of the frame 1and the inner coating bear directly on the upser side of the beam, 9.board be ing place in the recess 4 and nailed to the frame 1 and thebeam 7. Thus the wallsections are connected with each other and the beam7.

A board 8 is, preferably, placed at the upper edge of the wall on theedge of the frame 1. Between said board and the edges of the inner andthe outer coating recesses are formed in which fillings 9 are inserted.Also this construction is very sim la and requires only three easilyadjustab e members beyond the wall-section itself.

When using wall-sections according to Figure 3, to the last namedpurpose, one recess only is formed in which a filling is to be inserted.

The triangular wall-sections shown' in Figures 9, 10 and 11 are adaptedto be placed close to the roof at the gables of the building see Figure18) the uppermost edge of the rame portion 10 l in close to the roof.

Also the connection ween the wall-sections and the door and windowframes of the building shown in Figure 16 affords great simplicity. Inthis case the door and window-frames are provided with external notchesclose to both edges; The filling 9 nailed to the edge of the frame isinserted in the inner notch, while the edge of the frame and the coatingpositioned on the other side thereof are jointed to the outer side ofthe window frame, spaces being left for the necessary ti htenings.Inserted in the outer notch 11 o the frame is the edge ofthe coating 13,which rests above the window against the water-bar 14. The latter bearsagainst the wall-section as well as inst the window-frame 12. Insertedat the ower side of the window beneath a water-bar 15 is the coating 13,the water bar being fitted into the outer notch 11 of the window frame.The construction of the water-bars is advantageous on account of itssimplicity and effectiveness.

As will appearfrom Figure 18, the fillings Inserted between thewall-sections give III meager the wall the character of a half-timberbuilding advantageously strengthening the wall as a whole and framingall the wallsections.

In Fig. 19, 1 are the adjacent-lying frames of the wall sections and 2the frame cover ings. When the wall sections are set up adjacentlydepressions are left at both sides of the meeting edges 16, in whichbars are placed. Before this is done pulp or paper members 18 are placedin the meeting edges which are of such width that when the bars arepositioned thereon the pulp members lie closely on the frame ortions 1and are bent up along the edges the bars, thereby filling the spacesbetween the said edges and the edges of the coverings 2. The bars are,of course, of such width that the packing material is tightly retainedwhen the bars are pressed down and nailed. This arrangement results in avery good packing and msulation and at the same time the wall sectionsare rigidly connected to ether.

In the gable illustrated in F1 20 the wall sections 19, in accordancewith t e invention, are set on edge close together. Placed in thedepressions at the meeting edges are fillers 17, which extend for theentire height of the gable and thus form a rigid connection between allthe adjacent positioned wall sections. The fillers 17, instead of beingarranged lengthwise, may be arranged over the entire width of the gable,or in both ways.

The narrow wall section shown in Figures 4 and 6 is adapted to allowincreased possibility of varying, principally, the length of thebuilding, but also, if required, the width thereof. Thus one or more ofsuch sections may be inserted between or outside the normal wallsections according to the amount of the increase in length.

Of course each of the square and triangular wall sections occuring inthe gable-construction of the building should be used in an increasednumber, according as the size of' the gable surface increases. Thus thepossibility is obtained, without deviating from the normal types of thewall sections mentioned above, of varying the. size of the building.

sections are assembled the surface of said' fillets being substantiallyflush with the coating substantially as set forth.

2. A wall section for house building comprising a frame coated on bothsides with boards, the edges of the frame extending on all sides andends beyond the coating thus providing marginal spacings and filletsadapted to be applied in the spacings when the wall sections areremoved, the surface of said fillets being substantially flush with thecoating, substantially as set forth. I

3. A wall section for house building comprising a frame coated withboards on both sides, the edges of the frame extending entirely aroundand be 0nd both coatings, thus providing margina spacings and filletsadapted to be applied in the spacings when the wall sections areassembled, the surface of said fillets being substantially flush withthe coatings, substantially as set forth.

4. Wall sections to be used in building each comprising a frame coatedwith boards, the surroundin edges of the frame extending beyond t ecoating, thus providing marginal spacings, one frame being rectan gular,another square, and another triangular shape, the two first named beinadapted to be placed'upright close to each other to form the walls ofthe building, while the square or triangular sections are adapted toform the triangular parts of the gables of the building and filletsadapted to be applied in the spacings when the wallsections areassembled, the surfaces of said fillets being substantially flush withthe coating substantially as set forth.

In witness whereof we have hereunto set our hands in the presence of twowitnesses.
